**Tizzy's Trip to the MOON report**

[TizzyATX]

Day 1 Cont...



I had put a lot of thought into booking the perfect place for this trip. This was the first time I had ever done anything where $ was not a huge determining factor in where I would stay. Originally this was also going to be my first true “vacation” with a significant other….and I was even married at one point Hahahahaha (That's ok, I'll romance my damn self LOL) Point is, all of that did play a part in the booking of the Moon Cottage at Catcha. First I was hoping to book Sagi (for the outdoor shower with a view) but since Minja is always bogarting that shiz, no such luck LOL. (JK girl you know I just playin and I was so happy how it worked out) Anyways, I had scoured the internet trying to find good pictures and video of the Moon. It sounded to be exactly what i was hoping to find. Now as we walked past the security post at Catcha, I was really excited to check out my home for the next 5 days, and we were joking around about how I ended up here. It was dark by this time so I could not yet see much of the surrounding beauty that IS Catcha Falling Star.....but when she led me through the back side of the porch and on into the cottage itself, I was beside myself. Felt like I was dreaming. “Oh…my goodness….” Is what I think I said…about all I could say. Let me explain ok. I know this isn’t the lap of luxury… in my humble opinion it’s better. I’ve never stayed anywhere like it in my life, and it was just amazing to me.

I think she was trying to explain something or point me in the direction of Ivans etc….but she saw that I wasn’t hearing a word, laughed an told me we’d chat tomorrow Lol Honestly I was overwhelmed by it, I don’t really know how to explain why. She made me feel very much at home. In fact I would have never left if it was up to me.

Once I was alone I looked around the Moon. When you first walk in you enter a living area/ kitchen. It’s not a full functioning kitchen for anyone looking for information…but it is equipped with a full size fridge, microwave, etc. I don’t know why you would ever want to cook anyways, when you have Ivans next door. There is comfy seating and a T.V. but I never really spent any time there. There was a stereo that I used a lot. You walk up a few steps and in front of you is the bathroom. It’s nice, clean with a nice big shower and a door. Hmmmm, a door? You know what’s on the other side of that door? The oudoor shower is.

Pretty neat

On each side of the bathroom is a bedroom. One has a queen bed (I think) and the other is larger and has two full size beds. Good lord what could I possibly do with all of these? Both rooms have large closets with plenty of drawer space/hanging space if you need it.

I went back outside to check out the porch, have me a smoke. To put it simply...the porch at the Moon Cottage is my favorite place in the whole world….more specifically the day bed. I thought I would be really bummed that I was here alone, but for whatever reason I felt a huge surge of relief and satisfaction while I sat there enjoying my sub sandwich and taking in all the sounds.

I had to quickly snap out of it and get ready to head out to Seastar Inn for the Luciano show/Saturday night webcast. I was already late so I didn’t have much time. I pre-purchased two tickets to the show, so now I had one up for grabs. I called my boy Garth who I met on my first trip. He is a great guy, reliable and safe driver and I also consider him my friend. I asked if he wanted the extra ticket. He was down…said he’d be by in 5 minutes. I tried to pull it together real quick, and started, well, I think I started hiding valuables. More on that later. Lol
